CEC International Holdings Limited engages in the design, development, manufacture, and retail of electronic components and consumer goods, operating primarily in Mainland China, Hong Kong, and internationally. Founded in 1979 and headquartered in Kwun Tong, Hong Kong, the company operates through three main segments: electronic components manufacturing; retail business; and investment property holdings. Its electronic components portfolio includes coils, inductors, transformers, line filters, electrolytic capacitors, ferrite and electroceramics materials, plastic and metal parts, used in power supply devices, telecommunications, data networking, audio-visual products, home appliances, and multimedia equipment. The retail segment operates under the 759 STORE brand, selling imported daily necessities sourced mainly from Japan and other regions, including snacks, groceries, frozen foods, household and personal care products, and kitchenware.
Recent strategic actions include cautious expansion and optimization of the retail shop network amid challenging market conditions, implementation of cost-saving measures, and suspension of non-essential capital expenditures and large-scale investments in response to subdued retail sales across Hong Kong. The company focuses on enhancing its distinctive brand competitiveness through improving product range—with an expanded selection of over 6,500 items including new launches in snacks, beverages, leisure foods, and frozen goods—and upgrading the customer shopping experience. It actively pursues global procurement partnerships and sourcing channel expansions to replenish and diversify products quarterly. These measures align with a core strategy focused on stability and gradual growth, conserving financial robustness and preparing for future opportunities in a recovering market. CEC International Holdings Limited remains a subsidiary of Ka Yan China Development (Holding) Company Limited.
